After being apart for 19 years, my beautiful Grandma Bullock has finally been reunited with her Sweetheart. She passed away June 16th, 2010, quietly in her bed. I am grateful for her legacy she left behind.
I will cherish the memories we have made together, with our family and with her and I. The sleepovers & then watching Nick at Night, getting ice cream (& her getting Taz, {her dog} his own bowl), playing Phase 10 and Dominoes, the barbeques at her house, summers full of swimming, watching General Conference & eating this delicious Chex mix she made—I’m still trying to track down that recipe, going out to dinner & in her later years only wanting Steak, No Veggies. I’ll miss her shear honesty with saying whatever was on her mind; it made for good conversation.
I am grateful to be her namesake, Marjorie. Although a bit old-fashioned it reminds of the wonderful women she was.
Until we meet again Grandma.
